CA-RESMED

ResMed (NYSE: RMD) (ASX: RMD), the world’s leading tech-driven medical
device company and innovator in sleep apnea and respiratory care, today
filed a petition with the United States International Trade Commission
to stop the infringement of its patented technology by New Zealand-based
medical device manufacturer Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.

In the International Trade Commission, ResMed seeks an order banning the
importation and sale in the United States of Fisher & Paykel’s Simplus
full face mask, Eson nasal mask and Eson 2 nasal mask, for infringing
five ResMed patents relating to mask system and cushion design. ResMed’s
new case asserts that:

F&P’s Simplus infringes each of the five asserted ResMed patents.

F&P’s Eson and Eson 2 infringe three of the five patents, which relate
to modular mask systems.

Also today, ResMed filed a new lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of California, seeking monetary damages
based on Fisher & Paykel’s patent infringement, plus an injunction
against future sales of infringing masks in the United States.

“ResMed provides millions of consumers with high-quality products, which
are the direct result of substantial and sustained investments in
research and development, as well as a focus on each consumer’s therapy
needs,” said ResMed global general counsel and chief administrative
officer David Pendarvis. “We will defend our intellectual property
wherever necessary to ensure that patients worldwide continue to receive
the high-quality care they deserve, and are confident that when the ITC
and the District Court hear all the evidence, ResMed will prevail in
these cases.”
